I don't think that's the point. The point is that the required income in SV is an order of magnitude larger than what is required in most of the country to do those same things.

I feel like every year for the last decade I've been reading about how AMD is just about to make major strides in the CPU and GPU markets. It feels like it never comes. I would welcome it, but it doesn't feel like enough to catch

Part of me thinks that they should just archive SO as it is now (making it accessible and read-only from a specific secondary location) and just reset stackoverflow.com. I know a lot of programming problems are timeless, but many are not. S

Does this just incentivize them to spend a lot of time without actually selling the house? While I think 3% is outrageous, it at least incentivizes selling it quickly (even if it doesn't incentivize getting the best price).

I was expecting to see an article about yet another retro pi but I’m seriously impressed by this. Not only is the hardware really cool but your tooling and software setup is equally impressive. Great job.

$1500 is a LOT for a phone, but $2000 is a whopping $500 more than that. It's not exactly a "little" more than the top iPhone model.

This looks a lot nicer than I thought it would. I even kind of like that in phone mode it's a slim bar like mid 2000s phones. As an avid and long-time iPhone user I look forward to seeing how this thing performs in the wild.

The article hits on this, but I think it probably makes sense for Apple to do this as they plan to run all their hardware on Apple chips in the near future. That said, I think it will likely result in lazy UX that's "good enough&q

Speaking for myself (as a huge fan of C# and WPF), I didn't feel like there was enough of a phone/tablet/Store/Xbox market for UWP apps that made it worth restricting myself to UWP. I feel like it was a case of trying to

Also, I can't remember the source (maybe it was a "What If?"), but I seem to recall that it's actually to create a lens that allows us to focus a point on the moon to allow us to make out current man-made items on the su

I think the author is wrong on nearly all counts. I think Steve Jobs loved to see what people were interested in and find a way to make it easier to have and use. The iPod was a way of taking something people loved to do (listen to music) a

To add another data point: I've never experienced any of these things, not even close. The closest I've come is a DBA brother-in-law that wanted to code full time asking me how I liked a particular language. Outside of work, I rar

I like the advice to not overthink it or try to write a perfect letter. I have this same problem, especially when it comes to condolence cards. I recently signed one with several coworkers for another coworker and I tried so hard to write s

Why? And where do you draw the line? The rules allowed one man (i.e., one married couple) to acquire that much wealth in the first place, so why should the rules change once there's a divorce?

I've been way too close to 300 pounds for all of my adult life. This article really hits home hard. I can completely empathize with every statement the author made. I have realized his same struggles with weight loss and how hard it is

From my perspective, his wife was there to help enable the creation of Amazon. Jeff Bezos entered a contract when he got married where he believed an equal division of assets made sense. He apparently believed that contract made sense for 2

They've been married 25 years, well before Amazon became the huge success it is today. Saying she got married for a payday is terribly disingenuous.

I don't think it's irrelevant. Sure, you can get immediate free support, but long-term help is not cheap.
